New Defender owners- Disc and Pad replacement question

[philrs03]

Morning all,

Has anyone used a Land Rover main dealer for a front Disc and Pad replacement recently? I’ve just been quoted just shy of £1300 quid for the aforementioned….

I’m more than comfortable cracking this out myself, with the OEM Brembo discs and pads (plus pad wear sensors) coming in at just shy of £300.

My local Land Rover dealer (Hereford) is awesome, but I can’t help but thinking that price quoted is designed for people that have recently had a financial lobotomy, or have no idea how much things should cost. Or am I missing something?

I would be more concerned that a new Defender needs brakes and pads already.

A 4 year old car that consistently tows a trailer with building materials, and a track car, around Herefordshire (it’s quite hilly…..). Hence that’s not the question I asked.

I’ve used them a few times, they are brilliant. Fitted my tow bar and side steps on this car and did a load of work on my old Disco Sport.

Would you mind sharing where you can get the parts from, would be handy for future reference for when I have to do mine. Thanks

No worries. I got them online at GSF Car parts. They are on offer at the moment as well. I had to pay seperatly and collect the pad sensors, but the discs and pads themselves were £283 delivered.
